Town of Kim
Has Murder
The town of Kim comes forth
with a murder which occured
there a few days ago, in which
John Stewart, a deputy sherriff,
was shot and killed by Haines
Barber. It seems, from reports,
will Barber laid one of Stewart’s
korsi s and would not return it.
Stewart, after making several ef
forts to get .posse* sicn of the
animal, and failed, went to a
justice of the peace and got out
replevin papers for the animal,
and had himself sworn in as a
police officer. When he went to
the Barber home, armed with
the proper papers, to recover the
property, a quarrel ensued and
Barber fired a shot at Stewart.
The bullet struck him in the
stomach and he fell to the ground.
Stewart, who was lying on the
ground whipped out his revolver,
according to reports, and tired
seyeral shots at Barber, but none
of them struck the mark.
Barber, still angered, fired
another shot which struck Stew
art in thn heart, it is said the last
shot produced instant death.
Parties who came to La Junta to
get a casket at the La Junta
Mortuary for the dead man.
brought the news of the shoot
ing to La Jun'a.
The coroner from Trinidad
conducted an inquest, and Bar
ber was held for trial.—La Jun
